Bloomberg Wants Hillary Clinton as Running Mate

[Dirk Williams]

Saddens me to see what's going on in these United States. Between Corona virus and the 2020 elections I frankly don't see how things don't get frosty in the next say,,,,, 13 months. I've stayed in contact with many of my old Navy Buddies, from the early 80s. We all served in VQ-2 ROTA Spain.

Many went on to retire, as Senior Chiefs, and Master Chiefs. Several moved to SE Asia , others Europe, Spain and Portugual upon their retirement. In recent emails, these guys are telling us, their bringing their families home. While they can still find affordable transportation.

Clarification, these are the folks in SE Asia. Singapore, Vietnam, Thiland, Cambodia, PI, and another place, slipped my mind.

Many work for the Same company driving deep sea underwater drones, " Tethered".

Mini-Mike wants her because they will have pictures made side by side and she is the only one in the field shorter than he is.

Why do people think he is so formidable? He’s radically outspent other candidates and isn’t polling in the top tier. Hillary? She’s old news and baggage.

My thoughts exactly.

I fail to see how this hypothetical ticket wins. Clinton has baggage that will follow her around, and if Bloomberg rises in the polls, they’ll start to attack his stances and mayoral policies. His campaign is run on two things- guns and get s**t done, and even then, he’s soft on ideas. If you look up “nanny state” on Wikipedia, it has his freakin’ photo! He’s also a New York billionaire; remember how much the Democrats liked the last one that ran? Per the original article (which I take with a grain of salt )if he picked Clinton, he’d likely move to Florida or Colorado, where he owns homes. If that’s not out of touch with the battleground electorate, I don’t know what is.

Combined, they represent two political aspects that the Democrats don’t want to run on: money and “establishment”. They will not energize the youth and undecided voters, they won’t have any particular resonance with minorities or women, and they’ll flounder in the battleground states. If Bloomberg/Clinton is the (D) ticket, it’s a good possibility that a strong (I) will emerge from the Democratic camp, possibly Sanders, and play havoc. If Bloomberg/Clinton run as an (I), well, a man can dream...

This isn’t to say that Trump can sleep on them; but it will be interesting to watch the DNC if Bloomberg makes a strong showing.

$$$$$$. If Daddy Bloombucks throws enough money around even Bernie and AOC will be standing behind him endorsing him and the capitalism that made him a billionaire.

After what she did to Bernie last time, are the Bernie Bro’s going to show on Tuesday if she takes the nomination away from him again?

It's just a publicity stunt for headlines.

I have a hard time believing any Bernie supporter nor Bernie himself would end up backing the DNC candidate if they pull some shady nonsense again. Or backing a known capitalist pig like Bloomberg.

I also have a hard time believing the hatred for Trump runs deep enough in moderate Democrats (if there is such a thing anymore) to vote for a socialist like Bernie if he somehow gets the nomination. He certainly isn't going to appeal to independents.

It's a win-win for Trump so long as he keeps his mouth shut.
